Hi
I'm doing my CBT soon. Plan is to then buy something to commute in on. 100 miles per round trip, mostly on an A road that is, in effect, a motorway but also some riding through London.
Should I
a) get a Honda CB125R (2nd hand, high mileage but from an official dealer)
b) new Honda CB125R
c) get a Piaggio MP3 300
d) New Sinnis Terrain 125
e) just go for direct access and buy a bigger bike
Plan had been to do direct access in the spring having gained a bit of experience and then graduate to a bigger bike (and then also doing weekends away, etc) but now I'm wondering if it is a waste of money (by way of depreciation) beating up a 125cc like this three times a week and I worry it will spend much time being repaired as I hear build quality ain't great. The MP3 seems a more suitable vehicle but is v expensive to begin with.
Not sure what to do for the best at this point.
